I think one thing that works to tOSUs advantage is the fact that defenses are normally ahead of the offenses early in the season. Assuming that the texas D is better than tOSU D, the difference in overall ability is mitigated somewhat.
That being said the same, thing goes for the offenses, which should help texas. The problem for texas is that this tOSU offense has been playing together for nearly five years or more (a la Smith to Ginn at Glenville), especially the skilled positions. That type of experience on O can blow right through the slow start to the season.
